I can't link his original facebook post (a picture of it is included in the link below), but basically gripes about the academic side of the university being underfunded, while the athletics side gets all the spoils.
Here is the reply:

Here is the reply:
quote:
Oh boo hoo, Bob Mann. He bellyaches all the time about what a bad place LSU is to work, about this state, etc.
quote:
Why doesn’t he go somewhere else if he is so miserable? Perhaps because nobody will pay him $120,000-plus to teach two classes a semester and write his blog and Facebook posts all day. The LSU athletic department is run as a business, and a profitable one at that. The academic side of the university is not run like a business. It’s a bloated bureaucracy and is filled with these faculty types like Mann who believe they’re entitled to something the hard-working people in this state who pay his salary are not. LSU is a very poorly run investment for this state and that’s why our tax dollars are being wasted, paying for blowhards like this dude. Bob Mann is a whiner and a hypocrite of the highest order and his schtick makes him a first-class boor who is wasting MY tax dollars. People who disagree with him are called bigots or worse. He doesn’t allow any dissenting views on his website and blog, yet he relies on his free speech right to belittle LSU and its administrators.
quote:
I’ve got a suggestion: Teach more classes, Bob. Bring in some grant money, Bob. Make the investment in your salary and your “research” and writing pay off for the university and this state. Get a real job, Bob. Or perhaps you can’t because nobody wants to hire you in the real world. That’s why you have to live in one made of ivory towers built on the tax dollars of the good people of this state. No Bob, you’re a bad investment and YOU and your ilk are the problem with LSU.

Yes, it is the conservative political version of TMZ.

I clicked, saw it was Hayride, realized it would be a hack article with no substance, and closed out of the tab.
So, no.

That hit the nail on the head

Well the other poster did bring it on himself.......his posts had nothing to do with the original topic and just wanted to gripe about the source which just illustrated the tiff between the two parties.

No. I didn't post an article from a hack site.

I don't read Louisiana Voice either.
Basically, I'm not an uneducated moron.

Liberals hate facts. They get in the way of racebaiting and asking for free shite.
The point is... an LSU professor (Mann) is bitching about sports revenue, and the lack of funding for academics. He is THE moron.

You people are idiots. Where the frick do you think grant money comes from?
Saying LSU is a poor investment for the state? On a board devoted to all things LSU? When half your fricking clothes are yellow or purple?
Frick off. Seriously, go find another school you didn't attend to worry about.

Does Bob realize the football program generates money and gives some to the University, not the other way around?

And, the source of the article was pointing to a facebook post. In other words, the source had nothing to do with the OP.
But, the lib was so challenged by the opinion that he chose to ignore that and just comment on the source.

So now a liberal can't disagree with Bob?

Haven't read Bob's article and while I don't always agree with his perspective I've been around him enough to know he's plenty bright.
His background in media and as a political insider gives him a certain level of knowledge beyond the superficial. It comes with the access.
Doesn't make him 100% right but does give him the qualifications to at least share some opinions that are probably more than just emotionally off the cuff.
And the goal of any good writer (or journalist) is to generate thought provoking material. Sounds like he may have sparked something here.
